Dear Swimmer

How are you stepping into 2025? Like you're getting into cold water for the first time - a little trepidatious and a little excited with a tingle of anticipation?

Research shows that novelty and pushing beyond your comfort zone has huge benefits. It improves our well-being making us feel more alive and satisfied with our lives. It promotes creativity and resilience, improves memory, satisfies our psychological needs and increases motivation.

That's why instead of making resolutions, we're committing to doing something brave and something new in 2025.
